X Inactivation, Familial Skewed, 1; Sxi1

Description

In mammals, the potential imbalance of gene expression for the two X chromosomes in females is resolved by inactivating one X in all somatic tissues. In the embryo proper, the process of X inactivation is considered to be random between the maternal and paternal chromosomes. Thus, most females have mosaic expression of maternal and paternal alleles of X chromosome loci, with a contribution of about 50% from each chromosome. However, some females show a skewed ratio of X inactivation, which can be due to negative or positive selection, or to an underlying primary genetic process. Belmont (1996) observed familial clustering of females with highly skewed patterns of X inactivation and reviewed the genetic control of X inactivation. Genetic Heterogeneity of Skewed X InactivationSee also SXI2 (OMIM ) for a locus that maps to chromosome Xq25-q26.
